At what point do we stop saying an artist is “rising” and declare that they have formally “risen?” If it’s when they book their first-ever headlining arena tour, then Khalid has officially arrived at super stardom.
The Grammy-nominated R&B singer has today revealed the first dates for his “Free Spirit World Tour”. Coming in support of his forthcoming sophomore album of the same name (out April 5th), the trek launches with a North American leg set for the summer. Phoenix gets the first crack at the American Teen singer, with further stops including Las Vegas, Oakland, Tacoma, Denver, St. Paul, Chicago, Toronto, and Atlanta. New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden is also on the docket, with everything wrapping up August 17th in at Miami’s American Airlines Arena.
